Does anyone have the slightest as to what this is please..

Its been in my car for ages now, been meaning to find out what it is...

it presses and you will see that one of the buttons is missing....

Is it knightrider turbo boost , I dare not test it...

 

probably something to do with an immobilisor overide feature

 

..does that mean someone can break into my car and press a sequence and switch the immobilisor off...

 

Looks to me like its an Anti_hyjack switch as part of the clifford alarm!!!

 

Blackjax m8 need a code to start the car.

 

Meaning...

its all new to me...

Ive never had to use it so havnt got a clue its use...

 

Its an Anti hijack system looking at the state of the switch it obviously doesnt work anymore. It works with the Clifford alarm.

 

ah right, thats sorted then.
Thanks for all the info

 

Looks to me like its knackered m8. If it was working you woudn't have been able to start the car until you pressed a chosen code into it.

 

It is the plain view valet switch. It is used as part of the Clifford alarm to allow the valet code to be entered. This will override the key fob and can allow the setup of various features on the alarm - silent arm/ disarm, auto locking etc. On the models that include the Blackjax anti-hijack feature, it is also used to enable/ disable it. It is also used on the stand-alone Blackjax unit.

Do you have a Clifford Keyfob? If yes, then the switch is more than likely the valet switch.

Take the car along to a Clifford dealer - the switch is replaceable for next to nothing and will be needed should you lose the keyfob or the batteries run out. The dealer can also reset the valet code for you to something you can remember. They don't need to know the original code as the alarm box will be plugged into a laptop to be programmed.

 

If your thinking of ripping it out i wouldnt get it done properly. It could still be wired up to the Clifford.

 

It is the Clifford valet switch contact a clifford dealer and they can tell you the codes. It is used to define different setting with the alarm. Had it on an old car.

 

Yea it's deffinatly a clifford valet switch,but as you haven't used it i would say the alarms been removed. I have one on mine but the alarm's not on anymore as they're ****e! All the gimmicks but reliability is a major problem with the cliffords.

 

I don't suppose thats in an X reg classic by any chance?

 

That is a bodged Clifferd Alarm which i am sure goes off most of the time for no reason... The switch that looks like a dog has been eating it is a valet switch.

 

No its a V Plate, What makes you say that... ...

The alrm is connected still, Just lost its siren now, Just flashes to alert me...Crap I know!!! Maybe new alarm or should I get this Switch wired back up and get new Siren (if its that)..??

Ive heard about probs with Cliffords so Dunno what to do ...

I wont rip it out myself tho, knowing my luck the bloody car wont move if I do, Might just leave it...ah I dunnnoooooo

 

aay, now come on, dont pick on the switch, its just lost a button.. , I have no dog, I think....
Whys it bodged by the way? The switch is wonky cos I ripped it off to have a looook, dont stick back on now..

 

new switch and siren best bet. Bring to clifford dealer and they can do a full system check.

 

Yeah Ill get ot checked out, ill have to else my ride shall be Swiped without me knowing about it ...

 

should be fine after check and new switch and bit re-programming!!

 

As for Clifford reliebility, I must be lucky! Always ran Cliffords and never had any problems. I am now running a CAT1 with remote engine start and stand-alone blackjax. Been fitted for the 2 years I've had the car and never a problem.

The problem comes when you get cowboys fitting alarms!

 

Agreed.

I can recommend a good installer in the North West called Stuart Barnard he would be able to solve all your issues.

E-mail him, he'll advise on any Clifford issues .

Nice one for that mate, Much appreciated!!!

 

the broken bit is for entering the key code if you loose your keys and need to brake in yourself i think, if ya code was say 1234 you would press the top button once the bottom button, the the top button twice and then thge bottom one again...... you get the idea.
